Ghumi Pheri Rumjatar...OPT extension and New Job Offer
Login in to Rate this Post:     0       ?        
Sajha ka mitraharu,
I am very likely to get a job offer in next couple of weeks with at least 13% more pay at a different hospital with same job title. However, I didn't talk to the future hospital about H1B or GC sponsorship thinking I will apply for 7 months OPT extension in May and get TPS EAD next year (did answer yes to sponsorship question on app though). However, I just realized that I don't qualify for 7 months OPT extension since on May 10 I will have way less the 150 days left on my current OPT EAD.
So, I am wondering should I just wait until I have a job letter in hand and then apply for TPS EAD or just continue with my current employer who has already filled for H1B given I really want to move to the new job, but I would also like to get married soon (likely in Nepal and taking future job meaning I will be still single for how many years who knows). FYI, my current job is in private hospital whereas future one is a big county hospital. Needing some suggestions please.
